Git

Git is a critical part of any project and probably something many of you are already familiar with. Install Git if you don't already have it installed. Then initialize your project as a git repo with git init in the root of your project (VSCode and any other number of tools can do this as well.)

If you haven't already, create a .gitignore at the root of your project to ignore the stuff we don't want to commit. Go ahead and put this in there:

node_modules
dist/
.env
.DS_Store
coverage/
.vscode/

This will make it so these things won't get added to our repo. If you want more Git instruction, please check out the courses from ThePrimeagen and Nina Zakharenko on Frontend Masters.
